7th Ed. $20 USD Steg!

[thereal87]

This morning I thought it would be cool to use the last edition steg for ancient stegs and the new one for regular stegs. This after noon I went down to my local store and found an unopened box of the last steg for $20 (USD)! So I bought it.

So total now I have

32x saurus warriors, 24 skinks, an ancient steg which is going to be an EotG (I get a priest separate to mount on it and I'm going to build up a cool magic looking device to be the EotG)

So right now I am sitting on 997 points. I still need 8 saurus, 6 skinks, 10 chameleon skinks, 20 temple guard and a slann to fill out my 2000 point list. I'm getting there.

Awesome find, good job.

pretty good amount of mini's!

But I woud rather use an actual steg even for the ancient one... way better look and size/customization is great.

Just my opinion , good luck with your army!

Don't get me wrong I like the new model. However, having the more vintage (not really that old) stegadon will make my army a little bit more different from any other lizardman army likely to show up to tournaments. Also, I don't like the EotG model. When I was reading the story behind them I was thinking of it as more of a giant orb on a column not a round thing so I am going to build one like what I was picturing to add a little more flare.

there was a nice conversion of a setgadon with an EotG in the LM collecteors guide (the one i bought in 2006, dont know if a new one appeared)
it looks quite nice and its easy to do, but there are no platform for skinks

 

[thereal87]

I was digging through a bin of old bits and models and I found a bag of the large flier bases and I am thinking about using that as a base of the conversion and making it like a portal when I paint it. I'll mount it vertically at the back of the platform and paint it all dark and thundery.

about 2 years ago i joined a beginner camp for fantasy

they gave u:

a battalion
A hero blister
a paint set
and 4 weeks of lessons for every part of the hobby and army u chose

at this point i already had paints so the store manager gave me the old stegedon model instead (which was the surrent model back then) which turned out to be almost $20 more expensive, oh well.

now i use it as a regular steg.

 

[Bibamus]

you should use it as an "ancient" stegadon to have WYSISWYG
sorry, couldn't rezist
